We understand that your personal and professional growth isn't limited to what you learn in the classroom. Or rather, at Columbia State, the entire campus and its surrounding community is your classroom.

We celebrate the important role of the arts in a well-rounded education. In addition to the books read, tests taken and study groups formed that make up our students' academic growth, we also provide a wide range of cultural and intellectual opportunities.

This website:

We strive to make our website as accessible as possible, and to be in compliance with general web standards as well as the requirements of Section 508.

Here is a short checklist of simple methods that we employ to make our websites more accessible:

All images feature “alt” text describing the image being used.

Images and colors are not used as sole conveyors of information.

Web pages are organized and coded hierarchically and the information presented is readable without a style sheet.

Web forms use proper HTML tags to indicate form elements.

Tables are used for presentation of data only (not for layout). When used, tables have appropriate column and/or row headers.

Videos embedded within our website should have synchronized captions.

We are also beginning to take advantage of the flexibility of HTML5 and CSS3. Using HTML5 and CSS3, we look towards a “responsive design,” intended to make the information on our site more readily accessible to visitors using mobile devices.
